Trail Overview

Also known as Forest Road 83, this track follows the Deerfield River as it winds through scenic wetlands before gradually transitioning into a dense conifer forest. The setting changes noticeably along the route, offering a mix of open, marshy views and shaded sections beneath the trees. The trail begins as a smooth, easy drive but slowly evolves into a rockier, more uneven surface, with bumps and scattered obstacles that keep things interesting without becoming overly technical. Several designated campsites are located along the route.

Difficulty

The trail begins as a smooth, easy ride, but gradually becomes rockier the farther in you go. This is an out-and-back route that terminates at a closed gate, where a large open area provides ample space for turning around before heading back out.

We camped here for 3 nights. Great campsites with some peace and quiet. Lots of people traveling back looking for campsites, but they were all occupied. Bear activity at one site because a camper didn't pack out what they packed in. Saw some hummingbirds and lots of angry squirrels. The green Tread Lightly signs denoting the legal campsites was a welcome sight, coming in Thursday night in the dark. Just wish people would read them and follow the principles of Tread Lightly!
